@TheFu: Splitting passwords between people does not provide redundancy. Apparently you assume that half of your friends could turn on you in cooperation with your lawyer? Also the CD is likely to die before you do.

Burning bridges is too obvious. You wire them with explosives so that your replacement will detonate them a month after you've left. If you can get him/her fired the metaphor collapses too because the bridge is still there, though you may get lucky and cause the company to tear down its end of the bridge as it tumbles…
@FrightenedByPenguins: Bow deeply with an flourish of your hat. This will distract your opponent enough that s/he will not notice your aversion to hand-shaking.
@Tony Bullard: Oh, God. The viruses are starting to take over, infecting people's brains so that they will better serve their masters.
@Kin: The purpose of hand and foot sweat is not to cool your body. It's somehow supposed to aid in flight?
@Ilia Draznin: It's completely useless, and putting those words on my screen is offensive. Why waste even one neuron's effort to unconsciously filter it out, when you can have your computer do it.
@Matt Singerman: Condos are another form of renting. Buying a fairly priced house would turn out better. I also doubt you will end up with $1.5M (unless that is the price of a car in 2040), but good luck
@GirafficPark: The purpose of sweating is cooling. Unless you are getting heatstroke, reducing sweating is no more unnatural than cutting your fingernails.
@Julius Seizure. (the CANUCK one): Guess I won't be eating cookies for a while...
This assumes that the prefrontal cortex is somehow superior. People think slowly enough as it is—pausing is just annoying and tends to become eternal, since there is no perfect course of action.
@ShakespeareGeek: What came first, language or Shakespeare? Or black on white?
@amanatee: Remote controlled/robotic lawnmower?
@MichaelBrazell: Humidity in the Northeast is usually brutal. For you to wish such a thing demonstrates a sociopathic sadism that is deeply troubling.
@cha0tic: This is why the best surgeons dip their hands in a vat of yogurt before operating.
@AtomFury: People have always recorded TV. There no ethical justification for Hulu to make money repeatedly for delivering the same content to the same viewer.
@wastedlife: This is unlikely, and no one even bothers to try and catch credit thieves and child pornographers anyway. There are millions of open wifi networks, and I've never heard of this happening. Teenage girls being charged for sending pictures to their boyfriends, people unable to open accounts because they are…
@aphex242: Deluded much?
@Terry: You've paid for 4 OSes not worth paying for. You deserve 7 free.
